TRON (TRX) has been one of the worst-performing coins this quarter, as it has declined by around 16%. According to data, the asset is on the verge of recording its worst fourth-quarter performance since its official launch.
Data shows that TRX is currently trading at $0.279 and has declined by 0.13% in the last 24 hours. In the last seven days, the asset has recorded a 0.10% surge, extending its monthly gains to 1.8%. Additionally, traders’ interest has declined as its daily trading volume falls by 14% to $434 million.
Apart from this, TRON is recording growth across other areas on the network. Confirming this is Tronscan data, which estimates that the total number of accounts on the network has increased by 26.3% from year to date. In December, this reached its record high of 355.4 million. The data also suggests that over 240,000 new accounts are created on the network daily.
According to DeFiLlama, the network has also recorded steady growth over the year despite the reduced user activity across the broader crypto market. Its leveraged trading has had a heightened growth as TRON’s perpetual volume reached $1.1 billion on December 23.
TRON’s overall network growth was dominated by the stablecoin sector, which comprised 26% of the stablecoin market. DeFiLlama has disclosed that the network’s stablecoin market had $80.842 billion in market capitalization.

According to Jack, the network adoption remains significantly high, but TRX demand is yet to follow. Per his observation, this is absolutely normal as the fundamental first strengthens while the price waits for confirmation.
Meanwhile, TRX’s price struggle is reported to be due to reports that founder Justin Sun controls more than 60% of the tokens. Regardless of the concerns, the team keeps announcing new initiatives as it establishes a connection between its blockchain and BASE, as discussed earlier. Also, two residential property deals have been sealed in USDT as the payment method, via the TRON blockchain, according to our earlier update.
